EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) is being filed by Ondas Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or
“Ondas”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC”) for the purpose
of registering 1,326,994 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ondas Common
Stock”), issuable pursuant to the Assumed Awards (defined below) under the Airobotics Ltd. 2015 Israeli Share Option Plan and
the 2020 Incentive Equity Plan (together the “Airobotics Plans”).
Pursuant to that certain
Agreement of Merger, dated as of August 4, 2022, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company,
AIROBOTICS Ltd. (“Airobotics”), and Talos Sub Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
(“Merger Sub”), on January 23, 2023, Merger Sub merged with and into Airobotics, with Airobotics surviving as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”), and each Airobotics ordinary share, par value NIS 0.01
(“Airobotics ordinary share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (the “Effective
Time”) of the Merger converted into 0.16806 fully paid and nonassessable share of Ondas Common Stock, rounded up to the
nearest whole share based on the total number of shares of Ondas Common Stock to be issued to the holder of Airobotics ordinary
shares. In addition, pursuant to and on the terms provided in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the Merger, on January 23,
2023, the Company assumed the Airobotics Plans solely for the purpose of assuming certain options, warrants or other rights to
purchase Airobotics ordinary shares that were granted under the Airobotics Plans and were outstanding immediately prior to the
Merger (collectively, the “Assumed Awards”). The Assumed Awards were converted into options, warrants or other rights,
as applicable, to purchase Ondas Common Stock. This Registration Statement
registers 1,326,994 shares of Ondas Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to such Assumed Awards.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Nevada
Revised Statutes provide that:
| ● | a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation,
by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding
if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; |
| ● | corporation
may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement
and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with
the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to
which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion
of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement
to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit
was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in
view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper; and |
| ● | to
the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify him or her against
expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her
in connection with the defense. |
Nevada Revised Statutes provide that we may make
any discretionary indemnification only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director,
officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination
must be made:
| ● | by
the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to the action, suit or proceeding; |
| ● | if
a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit
or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; |
| ● | if
a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot
be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or |
Nevada Revised Statutes provide that a corporation
may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred
by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation
has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.
We also maintain a general liability insurance
policy, which covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our company arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in
their capacities as directors or officers.
Exclusive Jurisdiction of Certain Actions
Unless we consent in writing to the selection of
an alternative forum, the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County of the State of Nevada (the “Court”) shall be the
sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on
behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any Director, officer or other employee
of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company, any director
or the Company’s officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the NRS, Chapters 78 or 92A of the NRS or our Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation or our Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company, any director or the Company’s
officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine. However, each of these clauses (i) through (iv) will not apply to any
claim (x) as to which the Court determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court (and the
indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court within ten (10) days following such determination), (y)
for which the Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or (z) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum
other than the Court, including pursuant to Section 27 of the Exchange Act, which provides for exclusive federal jurisdiction over suits
brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22
of the Securities Act provides for concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or
liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and as such the exclusive jurisdiction clauses set forth
above would not apply to such suits
Although we believe these provisions benefit us
by providing increased consistency in the application of Nevada law for the specified types of actions and proceedings, the provisions
may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against us or our directors and officers. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring
any interest in our shares of capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this exclusive forum provision, but will
not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
We have been advised that
in the opinion of the SEC, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors,
officers and other persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment
of expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or other person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes:
| 1. | To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
to this Registration Statement: |
| i. | To
include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
| ii. | To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20
percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation
of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; |
| iii. | To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement; |
provided, however,
that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
| 2. | That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof. |
| 3. | To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| 4. | The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| 5. | Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized,
in the City of Waltham, State of Massachusetts, on this 25th day of January, 2023.
